- VU Physics and Astronomy Colloquium
Friday, December 5, 2008. Join us in NSC 231 at 3:05 for refreshments. Talk starts at 3:20 in NSC 224.
"Senior Research Projects"
Each senior physics major performs an independent research study, guided by a faculty member. As part of the project, the students present a proposal in the fall and their results in the spring.
The following students are presenting at today's colloquium:
Ansel Hillmer: "Introduction to the ZDC at STAR"
Dan Trubey: "Schumann Resonances: a means of investigating Earth's electromagnetic environment"
Ryan McGuire: "Light and Velocity Variability in Nine Bright Proto-Planetary Nebulae"
Chris Wagner: "Temperature Dependence of the Thermoelectric Effect"
